The problem with this argument is that while Peter is saying that moderate alcohol consumption has beneficial effects, the conclusion is about alcohol consumption in general. This includes binge drinking, which isn't moderate, and it's probably bad for you. This is a big equivocation.D is correct because the premise specifically discussed moderate alcohol consumption, so the conclusion can't make claims about all forms of drinking, including binge drinking. Thus, D is right.
